Shred celery, carrots and beets. Toss with a light citrus vinaigrette. The freshness and crispiness goes really well with the richness of the cassoulet.
i think the most important thing is that you have a good acidic salad dressing because cassoulet is so rich and fatty. It is also hefty, so i agree w/ concentrating on your greens and not cukes. but if you want some heavier textures, both beets and fennel would do you well i think.
I love it, but cucumber, to me, is not the best match for cassoulet. Cucumber is northern, and cassoulet is southwest France. I'd be more likely to go with a pretty simple green salad with a vinaigrette. Or if you want to add something green and crunchy, how about green beans and walnuts? Or even diced zucchini?
